Hi, I'm not sure if folks are still active on this thread but wanted to reach out. We are looking at building this plan with some modifications here in the Charlotte, NC area and wanted to see if others had build this plan in the area and discuss some things with you. The prices we are getting to build it are vastly different (between $400K-$600K. We are looking to expand the basement bay windows out to align with the top and to make some of the basement into liveable space (ie: moving closets behind the bathrooms to make each bedroom like a suite. We custom built a Don Gardner plan 10 years ago with all brick, HW floors, Granite, etc for $110 a sq foot, I've heard prices have gone up but not really sure how much. Would love to walk the house as well if someone within 100 miles is building one now. I truly appreciate your help and any input you can provide. Thanks, Meredith P.

Never build a house where you can sit in the powder room and carry on a conversation with those in the living room.

Have you considered instead working with a person of design talent (architect) to get exactly what you want? So you don't have spaces like in the Bartlett that are too small or a kitchen with absolutely no natural light?
